Surgery is Underway

It is 8:50 a.m. Chennai time. In the U.S. that would be 9:20 p.m. CST. Neil left the room about 45 minutes ago. The surgery itself is expected to last from 2 1/2 to 3 hours with an equal amount of time for recovery.

I'll post an update as soon as I know something. Thanks to everyone for your comments - Neil has been tracking all of them.
